EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in English history - the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. The image depicts Richard III, the last king of the House of York, facing off against Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond, who would later become King Henry VII. The battle marked the climax of the Wars of the Roses, a brutal civil war that had torn England apart for decades. Richard III's reign was plagued by controversy and his defeat at Bosworth Field sealed his fate. In this intense scene, both men are seen on horseback wearing suits of armor as they engage in combat. The photograph showcases not only their physical prowess but also highlights the significance of this clash between two powerful dynasties. It is a poignant reminder that history can be shaped by individual actions and decisions made on these very battlefields. This mid-19th-century print from John Tallis & Company provides us with a glimpse into an era long gone but still resonating with its impact on our present-day monarchy. The monochrome effect adds to its timeless quality and allows us to focus solely on capturing this historic moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but feel awe-inspired by the bravery displayed by these men who fought for power and control over England's destiny. Their struggle echoes through generations as we continue to explore and understand our rich heritage.
